Wedding Day Bliss

Yes, I've finally organized my photos-and brain-enough to tell about the most exciting day of my vacation: Andrea's wedding! In the days leading up to the wedding, Andrea let me be pretty involved. I got to help with the corsages and boutineirs, frosting cupcakes, and icing two of her wedding cakes! I also got to help with her hair the morning of the wedding (and that was slightly stressful, I must admit) and cooking the pasta for her luncheon. I have to say - I'd forgotten how much work weddings are!

However, watching Andrea in the temple with her husband made everything worth it. Dria and I have known each other for more than 10 years, and I don't think I've seen her any more beautiful... or more happy. Here's a collage (can you tell I just figured out an easy way to make collages?) of the wedding morning and being at the temple on the wedding day, Friday, April 21st. Oh, and Andrea's theme was a vintage wedding from the 1930s/40s, which is perfect for her and Stephen since they are both amazing swing dancers and very into anything vintage. 


The next part of the day was her luncheon and then reception, all vintage inspired, of course. Oh, and check out the cakes I decorated, the two bigger ones. Can you tell that I'm proud? And speaking of amazing talent, Andrea's sister, Rachel, made her wedding dress! Isn't that, like, incredible? The pictures on the park bench are part of a retro photo booth where you could dress up silly and get a photo taken- one of the many fun touches, like Italian sodas I am still craving.

No event, or fleeting moment even, in Andre's life would be complete without dancing. Here's some of the fun of the night. And, yes, that is me in the big purple dress swing dancing! It was quite fun. Andrea's friend, Lathan, even danced with both of us at the same time. Classic. Oh, and I even got in a Bachata, Meringue and even a small amount of the Lindy Hop. Not too shabby for a pregnant lady, if you ask me. 

Overall, her wedding was brilliant and I am so happy that I could be there. It was truly a beautiful day.
